BlackBook is your private social ledger: an encrypted journal for the people in your life. Keep the people you're seeing, the dates you've been on, and the little things you never want to forget in one calm, beautiful place that only you can open. Everything stays on your device, encrypted. No ads. No feeds. No one else. WHY BLACKBOOK - Privacy first. Your notes, photos, and details are encrypted on your device before anything is saved. We can't read them, and neither can anyone else. - Lock it down. Protect the app with a PIN and Face ID. An optional decoy mode opens an empty version of the app if the wrong PIN is entered, so a glance over your shoulder reveals nothing. - Calm, not cluttered. Designed to feel comfortable and capture-first, so jotting a thought takes a second. KEEP THE WHOLE STORY - Profiles for everyone you're seeing, dating, or keeping in mind, with photos, status, and the details that matter. - Date history with photos, ratings, and notes. - A private gallery with albums for your photos and videos. - A notes timeline to log every interaction. - Flags, vibes, and a "bring up next time" list so you remember what counts. STAY ON TOP OF IT - A Today view surfaces birthdays, reminders, and people worth reaching out to. - Set reminders so nothing slips. - Search across names, notes, and vibes instantly. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE BlackBook is fully usable for free on a single device, with unlimited people, notes, dates, photos, reminders, PIN and Face ID lock, and on-device encryption. SUBSCRIPTION BlackBook Pro - $4.99 per month, or $39.99 per year. (US prices. Your own currency and price are shown in the app before you buy.) What BlackBook Pro includes: - Every contact, note and photo kept in sync on all your devices. - Automatic encrypted backups of everything you have saved. - Restore it all on a new phone whenever you need to. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Your life, your book. Kept private.

Deleting a photo or video now reliably removes the cloud copy as well. If the server refuses a delete, it is queued and retried instead of being quietly dropped. ### 1.1.6 — 2026-08-22 Dates now follow your local calendar day. In the evening, a note could file itself under tomorrow, a reminder due tomorrow showed as due today, and today's activity read as a day old. All fixed. New contacts open the full contact screen instead of a short sheet, and the + page puts New contact and New photo at the bottom, next to the +. New photo now opens a photo sheet rather than the note composer. Undo on deletes: debts, payments, reminders, topics and quick logs all offer a way back. Picking several photos at once keeps all of them. A PIN can be typed on a keyboard, not only tapped. ### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-20 Pinned headers. On Today, Insights and Gallery, the search field and the view switcher now stay in place while the list scrolls, the way People already worked. Fixed a crash in People search on a contact saved without a name. Clearer money. Deleting a debt now names the debt it deletes, and a settled balance no longer reads as a warning. ### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-17 New look, if you want it. Appearance in Settings now offers Flat, exactly what you have today, or Glass: dark translucent panels over a softly lit background. Flat stays the default, so nothing changes unless you choose it. Keyboard and accessibility. Every panel, sheet and dialog now closes with Escape, keeps Tab inside it, and hands focus back to whatever opened it. Swipe actions on the People list can be reached without a touchscreen. Fixes. Ages no longer read a year high in the hours before a birthday, and Insights counts Active the same way the People screen does. ### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-11 Fixes subscription availability, so BlackBook Pro can be purchased and restored again. ## More apps by KYLE AUSTIN PRIESS - [GuestBook: Rental Host](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/guestbook-rental-host/id6787477088) - [RightsBook: HCBS Guide](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rightsbook-hcbs-guide/id6792333696) - [BluishBook: Used Car Deals](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bluishbook-used-car-deals/id6795015314) All apps by KYLE AUSTIN PRIESS: https://appshunter.io/developer/6784800323 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
